So just to check from a skippers perspective.

 

JV is leaving Poole Sat morning, back Tues afternoon.

Tiger fish is also leaving Sat morning from Lymington, but back Monday.

Woke to a calm morning today,,,,first for a week....and looks to stay for a while.

 

Hard to remember the last trip to Alderney when it was calm...it might have been the first two trips on JV  [ 1 ] ! When was that Adam ? 2009 ??

Great first day. Jv was a dream on the way over, the new autopilot taking the stress out of driving, the air seat making life comfortable for me and the rest of the crew asleep in the new bunks!

 

Fishing under average but then we have been spolit the past few trips. 8 turbot for the afternoon session. Sat night was the last night of the Alderney festival, so we all enjoyed the party and fireworks last night.

The torch light parade, seems like the whole island turns up. Really good atmosphere. A top notch firework display and with a band later a fun night all round.

Fishing has been below par in spite of our best efforts. Mackerel have been thin of the ground except on Schole.

This is the best Turbot taken
(if someone could correct the rotation that would be handy, failed to figure it out on tapatalk)

We have had about 6 flatties a day, mostly Brill which were keepers.

JV has had one better than average.... I'm sure you will hear more about that.

We had a big pod of dolphins follow the boat jumping all round the boat marvelous, hope to post some pics later.
